What are your healthy suggestions for that salt craving???
I'm tired of popcorn and trail mix, which, probably aren't the healthiest to begin with but figure they keep me away fromt he real bad stuff. What I really want is chips or McDonalds french fries. I'm really trying to limit the fries. I'm not doing as good as I could.

Hey Gretchen, here's some suggestions, and I'm trying to track down an article I know I saw a while ago on good substitutions.
Gretchen, what I usually go for, when I'm craving salty, is cheddar cheese. For example, I'll melt some on a pc of toast, or on whole grain crackers, or something like that. Although, I just thought of a couple other things I will have to try next time I get that salty craving..and that is a boiled egg w/ some salt on it (i used to eat those when I was a little kid) and celery with salt sprinlked on it could be good. Oh! I fogot! Lately for salty I love making a salad (good dark greens and other veggies) and put some deli meat on top and put lots of salt and pepper over the entire thing...then 1 tblsp of balsamic vinegrette (because it is only 45 calories and coats everything in the bowl)...and it's so nice and salty and peppery...and healthy too.

Salt for me=
-nuts
-popcorn
-pretzels
When I crave salt it's usually along with a craving for crunch, hence my choices!
